Just trying to distract from some of the other posts. I love everyone on this forum and hope they can forgive and forget. Be like Jehovah and look for the good in people.Yes well I’m 67 as well this year and beginning to think I was in the twilight zone… maybe I am.
Me too! Hooray for 1955!
bless you Driven. and thank you. that is what i wanted too but i dunno how that would be accomplished. she owes me and others an apology, but i blocked her and i have no intention of unblocking her. she went too far with me. i tried to reason with her and give her leeway, but i cannot deal with someone unreasonable like that. When she started mocking me and making fun of my mental health, that was enough. i actually have severe anxiety disorder and PTSD from being in Watchtower. i cannot expose myself to vitriolic hatred online.
Like I said it does not matter if he is real or not. Your getting pushy with other people is the issue. No one else has to see it your way. Why don't you understand that?
I think you are getting carried away with this. No one is harming anyone on here. As has been mentioned many times we really do not 'know' Phill enough to defend the man. But also Phill has not needed defending. Because he is a yt video maker and that is it. I never consider a stranger my brother in the faith unless I know firsthand they are a brother.. etc nothing wrong with that cautious as a what?? Biblical precedent.. I live by it. So you trying to make things out as The Philster is being victimized is being overdramatic. Uncalled for.
We can always find comfort in the scriptures. I hold you in high regard Sister BibleStudent.
Oh come on now. You are still merely making declarations of who you THINK is a brother he could be an imposter for all you know. Why don't you defend the GB with same zeal that you defend a stranger? Are they not brothers? Well they make videos don't they. They lead the JW org do they not? Where is your defense of them? By not defending them are you not letting Jesus down. Let me guess when you were in the hall did you sit in the front seat?
Please stop. BibleStudent has as much right as anyone to present her opinion without being criticized. Your post is very rude, you have put words in her mouth that she didn’t say and she hasn’t criticized you. Please stop.
Don't know if this is appropriate but Lloyd Evans was just exposed on Reddit as a chronic adulterer.
He talks about it on his channel. While this is not the best place (at least this particular thread) to mention it, can we be surprised about it at all since drama is bound to happen regardless the community?
So much for atheism.
In fact, your overly cynical point of view is evidence that you are not one of Jehovah's Witnesses. You act and talk more like an athiest.You could be Lloyd Evans for all we know. I've reviewed the conversations here. BibleStudent never attacked you, you were misrepresenting her by misquoting her and then when she corrected those lies, you flew off the handle with numerous attacks on her. You continue to do so in "passive agressive" ways, in various threads on this forum (which you said you don't do). Apparently you just do agressive aggresive. Be aware that others are aware of it and are watching you. Your "illness" is no excuse for lies, deception and manipulation in an effort to destroy someone's good reputation and their experience on this forum. BibleStudent is a respected member hereand we've had enough of your shinanigans. Got it.
I know Robert is legit despite the Org considering him a heretic.
Thing is he decries the WT for hiding things and not being up front and open, honest, truthful. Covering over their sins etc yet he did all of that to his own wife.
Well I didn’t realise that people thought capitals means someone is yellingit is simply for emphasis…please if I should ever use capitals don’t anyone assume that I am SHOUTING!!
It is a psychological response to capitals in that people understand or feel shouted at. It is the same with italics and underlining. I have the same response myself. The capitals issues are then added to the tone of the response and the justification that we are all imperfect adds an unqualified guilt. Be that as it may we have to consider what people have been through in their association with watchtower, and that venting it is therapeutic. I am sure that there were some at the receiving end of the speech that Jesus made to the Pharisees, calling them vipers and sons of the devil, who felt in a similar vein in that they were innocent of such words. Yet the bible points out that there is such a thing as “righteous indignation” and which would encapsulate the seemingly innocent, who are part of it by default, as are the majority of those within the congregation with their agreement of and participation in, persuading others to succumb to the vaccine, or zoom meetings, closed halls and substitute witnessing ad infinitum.Well I didn’t realise that people thought capitals means someone is yelling
I suppose making one individual a scapegoat for all the resentment, bitterness and hatred is also "thereputic" to certain participants. The caps were used for one phrase, which was Robert's solution to the whole issue being criticised and complained about. It was obviously not satisfying enough to those wanting to "vent" on an individual target.
